Midnight in Paris Filming Location: The Pantheon

Visit the Pantheon, a key location in the movie 'Midnight in Paris'. The walk from the metro station to the Pantheon is particularly beautiful, making it a highly recommended visit. Originally built as a church, the Pantheon is now more famous as the resting place for individuals who have made significant contributions to France. Many artists who enriched Paris's history, culture, and art are interred here.

Furthermore, the building itself is considered a masterpiece of French Neoclassical architecture, drawing many visitors who come to admire its design.

Who Can You Meet Here?

At the Pantheon, you can find the tombs of renowned scientists Pierre and Marie Curie, as well as those of famous French figures like Jean-Jacques Rousseau (author of 'Emile'), Victor Hugo, and Émile Zola.

The interior also boasts many must-see attractions, including Foucault's Pendulum in the central hall and a statue of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris.

An Interesting Story About the Pantheon

Unlike the Roman Pantheon, the Paris Pantheon, which honors great individuals, has an interesting story. It is said that because people were not buried here by their own choice but by later generations, their lifelong enemies are laid to rest right next to them.

For instance, Rousseau and Voltaire, who were bitter rivals during their lives, died in the same year and are buried facing each other – a truly fascinating detail!

A Comparison with Korea's National Cemetery

A key difference between the Paris Pantheon and Korea's National Cemetery is that historical events are continuously re-evaluated. If a person buried in the Pantheon is later found to have a dark past, they may be exhumed and moved elsewhere. This means that individuals must be recognized both by their contemporaries and by future generations to remain interred here.

This contrasts with Korea, where burial in the National Cemetery is typically permanent.

What to See at the Pantheon

The Paris Pantheon, a product of both Neoclassical and Gothic architectural styles, is highly regarded not just as a burial site but also for its architectural merit. You can ascend to the dome with a Pantheon guide. While the climb is steep, the breathtaking panoramic views make the effort worthwhile.

The interior also features impressive art collections. Key historical events, such as the French Revolution, are depicted through frescoes and sculptures.
